The Handmaid's Tale Sequel in the Works at Hulu

MGM and Hulu revealed on Wednesday that they will develop The Testaments, a sequel to the original 1985 novel, according to Deadline.

What's more, Bruce Miller (current showrunner of the Hulu hit) is currently in negotiations about how The Testaments can become an extension to the current series starring Elisabeth Moss.

We must stress that The Testaments novel has yet to be released, but it is coming next week. It picks up over 15 years after the conclusion of the first novel.

Here's the official logline for the book:

“When the van door slammed on Offred’s future at the end of The Handmaid’s Tale, readers had no way of telling what lay ahead for her — freedom, prison or death.

With The Testaments, the wait is over. Margaret Atwood’s sequel picks up the story more than 15 years after Offred stepped into the unknown, with the explosive testaments of three female narrators from Gilead.”

Ruthless. I remember thinking they are fucking ruthless. Where does it come from? This talent for ruthlessness. Seems so easy for them. For these men, for men like these. That show they won I suppose. It isn't about being right or having the people or God on your side. It isn't anything that grandiose. In the end, victory goes to the hardest heart. To the ruthless go the spoils. Fifty-two kids will be brought to the Lawrence house after sunset. We will move in darkness. We can hide in the dark at least. We have a chance at least. If there is actually a Martha network. If this all isn't a trap set by the eyes, I will get the children to the airport. The plane leaves at midnight. Because I am ruthless.
